Stan Thorne suddenly spoke, and Aurora Blaine choked on her rice.
She covered her mouth and turned her head away to cough a few times.
Stan Thorne took her cup, poured a glass of juice, and handed it over.
Joy Shaw was half a beat slower pouring water.
Aurora Blaine took that glass of juice, downed it in one go, and felt a lot better.
"Thanks," she said.
In that instant, Aurora Blaine felt like everyone at the table was looking at her.
Especially Ian Ainsworth; Stan Thorne's move pretty much stunned him.
He put his hand in front of Reina Thorne. "Reina, pinch me, quick."
Was he dreaming?!
Reina Thorne unceremoniously gave him a pinch.
Ian Ainsworth jerked from the pain—turns out it wasn't a dream!
Reina Thorne was just as surprised. Had her brother been possessed today?
Someone he was meeting for the first time—she couldn't find a reason.
Could it be love at first sight?
